Nestled in the Sierra Nevada Foothills.

Near the Sierra foothill town of Placerville, just off the beaten path between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe are the Apple Hill Growers. We are an agriculture community with a rich history in farming and winemaking where a new generation of growers invites you to share the experience with your family and friends.

Delicious, sweet apples are just the beginning.

Representing over 50 local, family farms, the Apple Hill Growers are dedicated to supporting agriculture in our community.  Founded in 1964 with just 16 apple ranches, we’ve now grown to include unique fruit & vegetable farms, bakeshops, wineries, a Bed & Breakfast Inn, flower gardens, and Christmas tree farms. Our winding roads and scenic beauty have been a popular destination for over 50 years.   Come enjoy the fruits of our Apple Hill Growers any time of year!

📣 BREAKING NEWS: INTERNET HAS BEEN RESTORED! Credit card payments can be processed! 

We've learned that several farms recently lost internet due a communication tower going down. This means phone lines and credit card processing are NOT available at the moment. ⁠

👉 @highhillranch_applehill has internet and can take credit card payments! 

💵 Please bring cash if you're planning on visiting this weekend! ⁠
⁠
While we hope this is a short-lived issue, we'd like to ensure you can enjoy the apples, fritters, donuts, wine, and other goodies during your visit!⁠
